In this vibrant and dynamic book-length study drawing on a broad
tapestry of research, Terence McSweeney offers an exploration of
The Hurt Locker (2009), its stylistic and narrative devices, its
cultural impact, its reception, and its relationship to the genre
of the war film. McSweeney places the film in a richly textured
historical, political, and industrial context, arguing that The
Hurt Locker is part of a long tradition of films about American
wars that play a considerable role in how audiences come to
understand the conflicts that they depict. Thus, films about a
nation's wars are never "only a movie" but rather should be
considered a cultural battleground themselves on which a war of
representation is waged.
